It's almost here: The samsung galaxy s7

Official Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 Plus phones.

It's official. The galaxy S7 is being released on March 11, 2016 in the UK and US. The phone's specs are mostly the same as they were predicted: 5.1 inch display size/ 2560x1440 pixels, 576 ppi, 5.6x2.7x0.3 in, 142.4x69.6x7.9 mm, weighs 5.4 oz, has Android marshmallow 6.0, 12 mega pixel camera, 5 mega pixel front facing camera, 4K video capture, 2.15 Ghz + 1.6 GHz quad core qualcomm snapdragon 820 processor, black onyx and gold platinum colors, 200 GB expandble storage, the home button is a finger print sensor, micro-USB connector, and the price is to be announced while off contract, but we know one thing for sure: it will be expensive. I think this phone will be good competition for the Iphone 7, as they are coming out around the same time and have similar specs.

$4 Smart Phone?!

The latest Android has been announced..and it's not a super powerful Galaxy. The latest Android is a low-tier, insanely cheap smart phone made in India; "The freedom 251". This phone is probably the cheapest phone that's ever existed.  Only $4 U.S dollars! It's surprisingly well put together though. You are given 1 GB of ram(faster than every iphone up to the 6),1.3 GHz quad core processor and 8 gigs of internal storage to play with, a 4 inch display, micro sd slot with up to 32 gb of free space, 3.2 MP camera, 0.3 mp shooter, 3G connectivity,  WiFi 802.11 b/g/n, bluetooth, GPS, and a 1450 mah battery. For your software, you'll get Android lollipop v5.1, which is impressive considering the specs and how new that software is. The design is simple, it comes in 1 color: white. So what I have to say about this phone is it's probably better as a 12 year old's first smart phone, than the average 12 year old having their first Iphone. The specs are decent and the phone isn't bad, it's just very low tier. 

Update to the unreleased Iphone 7

The Iphone 7 hasn't come out yet, there are already rumors about I phones for 2017 and beyond, such as: the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 plus. The iphone 7 plus is rumored to most certainly have the A10 chip, which makes sense as it will be an upgraded Iphone 7 which may or may not even have an A10 chip. This will be faster than any Iphone so far. With a M10 motion co-processor, 1.5 GHz dual core cyclone, (ARM v8 based CPU), and 2 GB of ram, more speed is likely... I knew Iphones were fast, but this gives a whole new meaning to speed! You could probably go from an app to the web browser in a short second! It's been common that Iphones plus versions are slightly larger than it's predecessor, so that's probably going to be the case with the IPhone 7 Plus. It may sport 5.8 inches or more. A dual camera set up is hinted at in the 7 plus. The price is speculated to be anywhere from $1,000-$1,200. Some say this is too expensive, but hey it'll be worth it. Not to mention the price is also dependent on the storage capacity(32 GB, 128 GB, 256 GB), and your carrier as well as where you get it. Iphone 7 plus is rumored to release around late 2016 to early 2017.

A blast from the Past! IPhone 5 reboot?

I remember when the Iphone 5 was big back in 2012-2013. Now, it's basically forgotten. However, after several bigger and more powerful Iphones in a row, in March-April 2016,  Apple reportedly is releasing the "Iphone 5se", an update to the IPhone 5, before the anticipated IPhone 7. The "se" suffix is short for "special edition". The new "se" will have upgraded software and hardware, combining features from the older IPhone 5 model, and features that have come with the recent iPhone models. Also curved glass edges like the IPhone 6 and 6S, an 8 mega-pixel rear camera, and 1.2 megapixels front cameras from the IPhone 6, and other photo and video features.  I find this similar to the IPhone 5C, a faster and plastic material version of the IPhone 5, which came out a year after the IPhone 5.  The phone will come with the same color options as the IPhone 6s: Space gray, silver, gold, and rose gold. The screen will be 4-inches, also the same as the IPhone 5. Personally, I find this smart as it will hold over IPhone users until the IPhone 7 comes out, and it really sounds like a good phone. It will be, without a doubt, a successful IPhone, and the best one for it's time. I wouldn't be surprised if Android has something up their sleeve, though.
